Book Jewel of the Month: Women, We're Only Old Once (Cooper)
What is a book jewel? A sometimes-overlooked book with remarkable insight and potential significance. Starting in August, we will share near-daily, as possible, reviews of the monthly book jewel - short, succinct reviews that can be read in 1-2 minutes with links to the reviewer by reviewers whose words are worthy of being heard and whose opinions are worthy of being considered. Sometimes a couple of minutes contains more impressive thought than ten times that many. We will let you decide that.
This month's book jewel is Women, We're Only Old Once by Bertha Cooper.
Amazon review by Paula Simpson -
Fact-based, practical, and inspiring1
Here’s a terrific book for women who are facing, or already in, our golden years. The author consulted medical and mental health experts and interviewed dozens of women to write this pragmatic handbook covering all the facets of life: physical and mental health, weight, exercise, relationships and sexuality, spirituality, the inevitability of loss, and more. She explains the changes that take place in our bodies, our brains and our lives, and the choices we can make to live life to the fullest. She describes what's normal in the aging process, thereby allaying many fears. Interwoven with the advice and recommendations of professionals are the interesting, humorous and often poignant words of real women. The book is well-organized and although thoroughly referenced and footnoted, it’s easy and fun to read. This is a book to be read cover-to-cover, but also one to return to, over and over again as we age….er…..get wiser! I highly recommend it.
